I dunno why y'all don't just post it in a non GD section. Team would exclude the masses I suppose, but I think it would go much better. Someone suggest the Politica forum, that might be a good option as well.

I really see the value in the information collection in the SAP thread. There was a lot of bizarre shit but I learned a lot too.

Really bummed the original thread was canned. And apparently the second one now. What a shame. Might be wise to move out of GD or in team or something.  I checked it every morning since it began. Learned a lot and shared a lot.  Fact is we just continue to learn and wait.....unfortunately while informing others of the stuff that was somewhat acceptable to normies.

I wonder about it being locked now, especially twice if it isn’t part of the censoring on other platforms.  Really unfortunate because arfcom was a safe haven now I am not so sure.

Yep.

In light of the fact that certain folks are just gonna continue to do what they do and others will continue to respond to them and "debate" them no matter how many times all of us quieter folk who just want to post and/or read the happenings preach the value of the ignore button and learning to scroll past the distractions, and the fact that we have seen this repeated dynamic wreck an epic nearly 3 yr old thread and its short-lived 2.0 version, as well as the few other satellite threads that were created after the big thread was locked...I for one would not be at all adverse to seeing this thread/topic moved out of GD, to the politics tab or even the UFO tab at this rate, for crying out loud, if this move would cut down on the neverending noise and nonsense that continues to crop up.

I would just like this thread to find a home where our main contributors are able to do what they do, bringing us the obscure as well as the major happenings, daily notables, motivational messages, and interesting ideas and juxtapositions on how some of this is all tying together, and not have to waste their time and energy posting daily reminders to the same crowd to use the ignore button or learn to scroll past the demands from others to prove negatives or fall for the topic slides.

*Now hitting the "submit" button half expecting this post to vanish into the ether since 3.0 may be locked already...fingers crossed the thread is still here for now!*

Place this then go to work.

Over the last couple of years staff has discussed how to better manage and cleanup the issues in GD. Believe it or not we DO actually listen to members complaints. In an effort to address these issues some changes will be rolling out in the near future.

1. Brownells.. They have nothing to do with this and have ZERO interference or say in the directions of the forum. Leave them out of the arguments over things you don't like.

2. Trolling. we will be formally defining it and strictly enforcing it. If you are here to disrupt the site those days are numbered.

3. Insults will be strictly enforced. We will be working with staff and mods to make sure we do this as evenly as possible and that humor is not considered insulting so long as it is not posted that way. The site needs to be friendly for all users.

4. we will be adding a lot more moderators to help with issues. We routinely get accused of allowing stuff. gd has around 71,714,457 posts for currently 13 people to manage. that is roughly 5,516,496 posts per mod to review. Yes we miss stuff. Just because it is posted doesn't mean we sanction it.

5. We will implement a defined and formal appeals process.

6. Accountability. Moderators will be moderating the forums with less staff involvement. Staff are to review moderator actions and review appeals between users and Mods. Sr staff will review staff actions and act as a final decision for issues that can't be resolved by staff. I have asked all staff and mods to act in a professional manner and we expect them to do so. There should be no abusive responses from them. We will be implementing some formal training and mentoring for moderators in an effort to make enforcement of issues more consistent across the board. Mistakes will happen, we are all human, but we will be better able to manage and review them.

7. User Accountability. Just as we are going to expect our staff to be accountable for their actions, we expect users accountable for theirs. Constant trolling and disruptions will be dealt with. We want everyone to have a good time here but within the rules of the forum.

Appeals process:
If you believe you have been warned in error first please discuss this with the moderator involved. If you feel you can not resolve the issue please contact any of the GD Staff to review the issue. In extreme cases Staff may refer the issue to SR Staff for a decision.

These changes are in the planning stage now and will be rolled out in the near future. We sincerely hope that these changes will improve the GD experience for everyone. We want GD to remain fun with as much of the wild west mentality as we can, but we have to have limits to protect the site.

Seriously.

I think Barr is starting to understand everyone knows how corrupt this system is.  I'm under the impression he wanted to preserve the "legacy" of the doj and by default the fbi... but it's dawning on him the only way to fix it is rebuild rom scratch by airing out all the dirty laundry.  The 302s were the start of it.

At least, that's my hope.

This is actually not a bad idea (UFO forum or whatever)

I never posted in *any* of the Q threads, but did occasionally peruse them. Every single time, there would be a couple of the same people, contributing nothing and doing everything possible to derail, disrupt and ultimately get the thread locked. Every.single.time.

The sequel threads attract some the same people. Can't even get past page 1.

So yeah, I think moving it to a subforum is good. If people don't like it, create a thread for them to bitch about it, poke holes, whatever. Keep both parties out of each other's threads. One warning then gone.

A non-comprehensive timeline of Q's failed predictions and mistakes and a list of tactics he uses to hook and drag followers.

Debunk

Failures and False Predictions

4chan Era

October 2017

10/28/17 - Q claims that Hillary has been detained (edited to more accurately reflect the failed prediction- thanks Qultists). If this is so then there must not be much evidence against her, given that she's still out and about today! Unless you believe that she went through some shadow trial and is somehow being controlled, but countries where freedom and limited government overreach are valued aren't supposed to do things like that!

10/28/17 - Q claims that Hillary's passport will be flagged on 10/30/17 and to expect massive riots as she's extradited.

8chan Era

January 2018

01/21/18 - A flood was alleged to be coming. A flood consisting of various forms of media that I imagine were supposed to implicate somebody in something nefarious. Sadly, this flood never came.

01/21/18 - Q makes some very certain claims about the Nunes Memo, which of course do not come remotely true when the memo is released a couple weeks later.

01/22/18 - Q posts a confirmed fake Podesta email, then promptly deletes it. But not before his followers have time to notice.

February 2018

02/09/18 - Next week [Next week] is declared 'suicide weekend'. Nothing came to pass.

02/21/18 - Q predicts that the founder of Twitter is removing accounts because he and his Deep State friends are in deep trouble. Nothing came to pass.

March 2018

03/06/18 - The stage is set to release a video of Hillary Clinton doing spooky and evil things that would be impossible to defend and '[liberal undo]'. While this didn't happen, it did introduce some curious Q devotees to the world of child porn.

03/15/18 - Q declares 'March Madness' and that 'the public will soon know'. Nothing came to pass.

April 2018

04/02/18 - April is supposed to be a "BIG month", full of happenings including but not limited to arrests, the release of the IG report, the wall, "military start", and unsealed indictments. Nothing came to pass.

04/06/18 - "Pics will surface of Hussein holding AK47 in tribal attire. One of many. Net shut down."

May 2018

05/16/18 - Q passes off a shitty photoshop as proof that he has some sort of official document, implied to be an executive order.

05/19/18 - Q leaks his own password. "On purpose", of course.

June 2018

06/17/18 - Q engages with somebody who posted a verifiably misleading youtube video as if it were real (to the point where his followers were protesting).

06/17/18 - Q posts this horrible photoshop job as if it were real.

06/18/18 - Q responds to a horrible photoshop job as if it were real.

06/26/18 - July - the month the world knows the TRUTH. Conspiracy no more. (Nothing came to pass.)

06/27/18 - Q posts a link to yournewswire, a website known for straight-up fabricating information. Additionally, it has a twitter tag appended, suggesting that he found it randomly on twitter. Not great infosec for somebody dropping top-secret knowledge.

July 2018

07/03/18 - Q posts a link to Breitbart with the twitter tag again.

07/03/18 - Q posts a photo suggesting that he is on Airforce One. It is quickly debunked as an Obama-era photo that somebody took a picture of with an iphone. Spends quite a while doing damage controlled, including the old 'I trolled u' defense.

07/31/18 - For his 1776th post, Q uploads an image that's supposed to function as 'proof' that he's working with Trump (Trump's signature + "#1776"). However, not only are the '#' and '1' very different from Trump's own handwriting, but even Q's followers found evidence that it's another photoshop job.

August 2018

08/10/18 - Q's password is revealed yet again by a former believer attempting to reach out to those who are currently sucked in and debunks the belief that Q's passwords contain clues. Q finally upgrades to a secure trip.

08/12/18 - Q makes an angry post suggesting that Omarosa admitted to broadcasting a 'CRIMINAL VIOLATION' by leaking recordings from the White House in violation of an NDA. Not only are NDA violations civil matters rather than criminal, but NDAs don't apply to public servants. It is also interesting that Q would get upset over leaks of confidential information when the entire premise of 'The Storm' is that a top government official with a seemingly endless supply of knowledge about international happenings is leaking information about vital government operations to strangers on an insecure message board known for harboring political extremists and at times illegal content.

Various/Misc

Q built up the release of the IG report for months. The night before the report was released, after its actual contents had been reported on for weeks, he panicked and pulled some pretty ridiculous damage control.

Occasionally Q types 'codes'. These 'codes' are easily demonstrated to be gibberish by experts in infosec and cryptography, aside from one that appears to be some kind of (Microsoft?) product license.

Deception Tactics

Q uses a number of tactics to keep people from catching onto the fact that he's spinning lies, or to keep them believing that he's making correct predictions. Some of these tactics are standard fare among false prophets, while others are new to the digital age. Here are some examples:

Most of the predictions and messages he posts are vague to the point where a large number of happenings can be applied to them. For example, 'watch the water' - if anything happens near water, or involving water, Q's followers can use it as confirmation that his prediction came true.

Q uses words that have been made by Trump in the past and/or are commonly used by Trump to give people the impression that he has some sort of relationship with Trump when Trump uses them again.

Why do most of Q's posts involve things that are currently hot topics in the news? If he's a super secret agent who is apparently privy to everything happening behind the scenes, then why would he almost exclusively discuss current events that are publicly known, e.g. the IG report and North Korea? Is everything the Deep State is involved in something that is publicly documented to some degree, aside from off-handed things like the Hillary Clinton tape that never materialized?

Similar to the point above, because Q's posts involve things that are either currently in the news or frequently in the news, there is a high probability that something will happen involving those things in the very near future. For example, there is a scandal within the Catholic Church every other month; if somebody predicts that there will be a scandal in the Catholic Church within the next month or two, there is an extremely high probability that this prediction will come true. Another example of this is [NK]; with Trump and Kim meeting together, there was an extremely high probability that something noteworthy would happen. That said, Q has missed his mark with this tactic, as those making educated guesses often do. For example, heavily suggesting that there would be some sort of big happening between the USA and Iran very soon after the cancellation of the Iran deal.

In the case of the failed Iran deal predictions, Q uses another distraction- posting about Iran again and again to give followers the impression that things are still going to happen and make them forget when the deadline has passed. If/when something big does happen in Iran, his followers will believe that he accurately predicted it despite the fact that he's been hinting for months that something would happen very soon.

Why does Q photoshop some images that he implies are real? Why does he run many images through filters and/or crop them, two of the easiest ways to make an image impossible to reverse image search? If all of them are real and taken by Q, then why are some images clearly amateur while others seem to be taken by professional photographers? The answer is that, while Q does take some photos (e.g. the ones with the pen), he draws photos from different sources (or takes pictures of them, in the case of welcomeaboard.jpg) and edits them so that they can't be reverse-searched.

Q uses thought-terminating cliches like 'trust the plan' and 'disinformation is necessary' to keep the people he's hooked from thinking clearly about what's going on. His followers rationalize failed prediction after failed prediction as 'there are things going on behind the scenes' or 'Q said disinfo needs to happen to throw off the Deep State (why would the Deep State use 8chan of all places for information??)', which protects Q's legitimacy from being questioned.

It is also interesting that Q would get upset over leaks of confidential information when the entire premise of 'The Storm' is that a top government official with a seemingly endless supply of knowledge about international happenings is leaking information about vital government operations to strangers on an insecure message board known for harboring political extremists and at times illegal content.

Various/Misc

Q built up the release of the IG report for months. The night before the report was released, after its actual contents had been reported on for weeks, he panicked and pulled some pretty ridiculous damage control.

Occasionally Q types 'codes'. These 'codes' are easily demonstrated to be gibberish by experts in infosec and cryptography, aside from one that appears to be some kind of (Microsoft?) product license.

Deception Tactics

Q uses a number of tactics to keep people from catching onto the fact that he's spinning lies, or to keep them believing that he's making correct predictions. Some of these tactics are standard fare among false prophets, while others are new to the digital age. Here are some examples:

Most of the predictions and messages he posts are vague to the point where a large number of happenings can be applied to them. For example, 'watch the water' - if anything happens near water, or involving water, Q's followers can use it as confirmation that his prediction came true.

Q uses words that have been made by Trump in the past and/or are commonly used by Trump to give people the impression that he has some sort of relationship with Trump when Trump uses them again.

Why do most of Q's posts involve things that are currently hot topics in the news? If he's a super secret agent who is apparently privy to everything happening behind the scenes, then why would he almost exclusively discuss current events that are publicly known, e.g. the IG report and North Korea? Is everything the Deep State is involved in something that is publicly documented to some degree, aside from off-handed things like the Hillary Clinton tape that never materialized?

Similar to the point above, because Q's posts involve things that are either currently in the news or frequently in the news, there is a high probability that something will happen involving those things in the very near future. For example, there is a scandal within the Catholic Church every other month; if somebody predicts that there will be a scandal in the Catholic Church within the next month or two, there is an extremely high probability that this prediction will come true. Another example of this is [NK]; with Trump and Kim meeting together, there was an extremely high probability that something noteworthy would happen. That said, Q has missed his mark with this tactic, as those making educated guesses often do. For example, heavily suggesting that there would be some sort of big happening between the USA and Iran very soon after the cancellation of the Iran deal.

In the case of the failed Iran deal predictions, Q uses another distraction- posting about Iran again and again to give followers the impression that things are still going to happen and make them forget when the deadline has passed. If/when something big does happen in Iran, his followers will believe that he accurately predicted it despite the fact that he's been hinting for months that something would happen very soon.

Why does Q photoshop some images that he implies are real? Why does he run many images through filters and/or crop them, two of the easiest ways to make an image impossible to reverse image search? If all of them are real and taken by Q, then why are some images clearly amateur while others seem to be taken by professional photographers? The answer is that, while Q does take some photos (e.g. the ones with the pen), he draws photos from different sources (or takes pictures of them, in the case of welcomeaboard.jpg) and edits them so that they can't be reverse-searched.

Q uses thought-terminating cliches like 'trust the plan' and 'disinformation is necessary' to keep the people he's hooked from thinking clearly about what's going on. His followers rationalize failed prediction after failed prediction as 'there are things going on behind the scenes' or 'Q said disinfo needs to happen to throw off the Deep State (why would the Deep State use 8chan of all places for information??)', which protects Q's legitimacy from being questioned.

If Trump thought he was damaging, he would have twatted him out of existence by now.  He's either legit, or useful for our side.
